NCSE Evolution and Climate Education Update for 2012/12/28

Dear Friends of NCSE,
To end the year, a preview of Cold Cash, Cool Climate.

A PREVIEW OF COLD CASH, COOL CLIMATE
NCSE is pleased to offer a free preview of Jonathan Koomey's Cold
Cash, Cool Climate: Science-Based Advice for Ecological Entrepreneurs
(Analytics Press, 2012). The preview consists of chapter 5, "The Scope
of the Problem," in which Koomey writes, "Climate change is probably
the biggest challenge modern humanity has ever faced. It's bigger than
World War II, because it will take decades to vanquish this foe. It's
harder than ozone depletion ... And it's more intractable than the
Great Depression ..."
According to the publisher, "this book describes how to profit from
tackling climate change, one of this century's greatest challenges.
Industry expert Dr. Jonathan Koomey acts as your company's scientific
advisor, summarizing the business implications of the climate problem
for both new and existing ventures. Koomey helps you effectively
allocate scarce time and resources to the most promising
opportunities, drawing upon his more than 25 years of experience in
analyzing and implementing climate solutions."

Antievolutionists Say the Darndest Things

Antievolutionists often express outrage over alleged incivility from those who oppose their efforts to evade the establishment clause of the First Amendment. But they have no difficulty in dishing out the abuse themselves. Here is a sample from the Invidious Comparisons thread that documents egregious behavior on the part of the religious antievolution advocates.

Dembski, as the director of the center, also commented on the report in a one-paragraph e-mail message following its release. "The report marks the triumph of intelligent design as a legitimate form of academic inquiry. This is a great day for academic freedom," Dembski began. He concluded by observing that "Dogmatic opponents of design who demanded the Center be shut down have met their Waterloo. Baylor University is to be commended for remaining strong in the face of intolerant assaults on freedom of thought and expression."
